Probably disappointed that a rumoured RS 3 did not come alive in Frankfurt, MR Car Design went out to fix the problem. Using the 2.0 TFSI engine as a base they added equipment like a big intercooler, new engine control software and a sports exhaust system with optimised counter pressure.

Mr Car Design has induced 248kW (337hp) and 450Nm, significantly up from the standard 195kW (265hp) and 350Nm respectively. Incidentally the factory TT RS produces similar numbers, therefore you could rationalize this as the unofficial aftermarket RS 3.

Tyres used are 235/35 ZR19 Dunlop Sportmaxx wrapped around 8x19" hyper-black alloys. The chassis is improved through the use of V3 coilovers with pressure and tension phase adjustment.
